The problem with Squidoo that I noticed is that you are not boosted up as quickly as writers are on Hub Pages. In other words much harder to get the backing juice that Hub Pages gives to all more easily.

Personally, I would avoid Info Barrel. It's the kind of site that will probably get Google slapped in the near future.

Unlike HP, which has a healthy mix of people who write for fun, money, and both, IB is 99% internet marketers. And unlike HP, which attracts people who can write well, IB members tend to be bad writers in general. Spelling, grammar, and usage errors up the wazoo. No sense of flow and structure, just one awkwardly keyword-stuffed sentence after another is what they call an article.

I challenge you to find a regular IB contributor of the same caliber as Habee, Marisa Wright, Uninvited Writer, Patty Inglish, and many of the other excellent writers here (sorry, I know I missed a bunch of the super stars here!)

InfoBarrel just becomes junkier and junkier by the minute! Whereas other sites like Xomba, Squidoo, and Bukisa are actually trying to *improve* their reputations and reward quality.

The site might be good for a couple of backlinks, but very few people are making good money with IB. IB forum members have been saying since forever how IB's rank will improve any day now. Hasn't happened yet, and I doubt it ever will since their quality is on the rapid decline.

Sounds like you have a strong opinion on that. Well, I am looking for answers. i need a site that will provide decent page rank. I love hubpages and will continue to write here, but would like to write elsewhere too.

Why would you write an article on info or squid. Both of these dont come close to hubpages as far as google is concerned. 75 percent of nothing is nothing. Squid has been majorly google slapped. There really is not even any reason to write on those sites because if your going to write a good article why waste it on those sites and not put it on hubpages.

Infobarrel is an okay site but I personally think there are better places to write. Infobarrel is also in danger of gettign slaped by Google for having LQC (low quality content) in the shape of spun, duplicate, and keyword stuffed articles. Google announced recently that they are going to be cracking down hard on all of these things.

Infobarrel dot com has more or less been abandoned by its owners. They have made it apparent they don't care about the site by never checking in or saying much of anything to anyone. There are many bugs that aren't...

I just reviewed a blog about Info Barrel and it sounds like a good site for building revenue and backlinks. Dose anyone have experience with this new site and is it worth the effort? The blog and site are...

Does anyone know any other site similar to Hubpages? I'm starting to like this site and I'm realizing that it's really better than all the other sites so, it would be nice to find another similar site.Anyone?

People have suggested I join Infobarrel so I did. I unpublished and deleted a hub here about La Guancha in Tenerife and thought I would use it as my first InfoBarrel article. The first problem I ran into was it said I...
